anna and mister God

get your hands on a copy of Anna and Mister God, by Fynn. very good. it tells of Anna's special relationship with God. the best word to describe this relationship is 'magical'. very inspiring book (a true story, for that matter)..i learnt a lot. take your time to read it..and digest everything this little girl has to say abt everything under the sun. it's amazing the level of intelligence this girl possesses, sadly..most ppl never achieve this level ever, in their entire life. spiritually, this is an insightful book. you don't have to go to church daily to share a meaningful and close relationship with God. plus..Anna presents interesting perspectives abt God, religion, and people. she said angels and God cannot look like humans. it's a preposterous that angels and God are described as human-like. it is true that God made us in His likeness, but it was never stated in the physical aspect. very very good book. i'll leave you with some of my favourites quotes.

"The difference from a person and an angel is easy. Most of an angel is on the inside and most of a person is on the outside." -Anna at 6
"..there is nothing worth having in this world that is not worth waiting for." -Fynn's mum
"Fynn, you have to know much more to be silent than you do to keep talking." -Anna
"...if you haven't stopped in the course of the day then you just haven't done anything worthwhile." -Fynn's mum
"Anna has shown me....to know God is altogether different from describing God." -Fynn's mum

my all time favourite:
"Is it not strange, my Lord Bishop, that you, because of your gravity, will ascend to heaven, whilst I, because of my levity, will descend to hell." -Rev. Sidney Smith
